Pomegranate Health

Welcome to Pomegranate Health, a podcast about the culture of medicine. You’ll hear clinicians, academics and advocates grapple with some big questions. How to make difficult clinical and ethical decisions free from cognitive bias. How to improve communication with patients and peers. How to deliver healthcare with efficiency and equity.

Fellows of the RACP can log time spent listening towards their CPD. Basic Physician Trainees will find the Case Report series a useful model for presentation of long-cases at their clinical examinations.

This is also the home of IMJ On-Air, where authors from the College's Internal Medicine Journal present their work. Meanwhile, the Journal Club episodes invite RACP researchers published in other academic journals to showcase their work.

Please add to the discussion in the comments section for each episode and send any feedback or ideas to podcast@racp.edu.au
